Rangers targeting “unplayable” stars in a free transfer

Rangers are set to be extremely busy in the transfer market in the coming weeks.

Since Russell Martin was announced last week as the new manager, Ibrox has been linked to the correct new signature, given their team will require a massive overhaul this summer.

So, is Gards’ Land an attacker labeled “unplayable” in a move reminiscent of recent fan favorites?

Rangers’ interest in new midfielders

According to a report by Joshu Avalry in Rangers Review, the Rangers are “interested” in signing Kwamepok this summer.

The 23-year-old is a free agent who left Peterborough United and has an astonishing amount of competition with his signature, including the newly declared championship side, Birmingham City.

Pok began his senior career in the non-league representatives of Clay Wanderers and Worthing, earning a move to Colchester before joining Peterborough in 2021, winning the Back-to-Eful Trophy at Wembley.

Can rangers seduce the north north of the bossman Hadrian’s wall, as Peterborough Chairman Daragh McCantney believes he will “be a future Premier League star” and estimates that one day it will “cost £30 million”?

Joe Aribo’s Rangers career

Six years ago, on an eerie similar contract, Joe Aribo arrived at the Rangers as a free agent, and received £300,000 in compensation from Charlton Athletic.

Aribo made 149 appearances for the Light Blues, scoring 26 goals, registering 25 assists, and destroying the deadlock in the most famous Europa League Finals to defeat Aintrak Frankfurt at Estadio Ramon Sanche Spijuan.

A few days later, Nigeria International helped the Rangers win the Scottish Cup at Hampden, which proved to be his last outing in a blue jersey sold for £6 million to Southampton in the summer of 2022.

So, can Pok have similar effects to the Aribo effect? Compare and find duos.

As the table outlines, Pok’s statistics for this season were actually more impressive than Aribo’s statistics for his final season at Charlton, despite the former launching a three-month campaign following hamstring surgery in December.

Writer Kai Watson has labelled “strong ball carrier” that excels in “cut to the left and shot away” at Ganian International, and concludes that he will become a “budget” for free transfers. Meanwhile, Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson claims that sometimes he can’t “play.”

Meanwhile, Oliver Walton of the Football League world described him as “one of the most ingunote players in British football” earlier this season, and Venkatanarayan from the entire football analysis outlines how he boasts the highest “offensive number” in the entire EFL, and praises his “excellent finish.”

Now let’s evaluate that claim.

As the table highlights, Pok had an exceptional season at Peterborough, ranking number one in assists per 90 and second in dribbling per 90.

Full football analysis Venkatanarayanan also considers his best position to be an offensive midfielder, but he is an attacking midfielder and points out that his “major strength” is his ability to advance the ball throughout the midfield.

Meanwhile, Fintan O’Reilly, of the full football analysis, labels him “thrilling playmaker” who is “a great in tight spaces” and “a very clever passerby” and is destined to go to the top.
